75TH ANNIVERSARY SEASON OPENER
6-7 PM Hors d'oeuvres - Reception (Catered by The Pantry, Washington Depot) | 7-8:30 Concert


Spirituals, hymns, hollers and work songs were sung either to express a yearning for a better life or gratitude for already having one. Guitarist Walter Parks, longtime sideman to Woodstock legend Richie Havens, is fascinated by this historical music’s universal applicability and power. While he uses this repertoire to entertain, he also hopes to make a case for embracing the inescapable togetherness of races and cultures by performing this music in concert with his new group, The Unlawful Assembly.
